A few years ago whilst attempting my ancestry - I had contact with the sherwood foresters in Nottm - who had all sherwood foresters records.... my grandad I got all information on...however they also sent me another record which I also beleived to be a distant relative.....I have since discovered it isnt the same person - however I do feel that the person they sent me is connected. I have a roll for a Percy R Spurr enlisted in Nottm lived at old basford Nottingham and date of death is 16th may 1917 aged 29 so born in aprox 1888? his wife was ethel spurr of 49 northgate new basford, nottingham. He died of wounds (first world war) and is buried in chocques military cemetery france. Im quite sure this must be a connection to my Spurr family - can anyone see who is parents would be?
